• Violinists put on a show for Greswold

  Mon 10 Jul 2023

  KS2 pupils along with some parents were treated to a wonderful performance by the children in Y4, 5 and 6 who are currently learning to play the violin at school.  The children performed a whole host of pieces of music and were magnificent in front of such an avid audience.  Thank you to Miss Plumber, their teacher and to the pupils who treated their audience to an engaging concert.  

  

• A polite reminder to protect our new Y5 cyclists by NOT dropping off on double yellow lines!

  Sat 08 Jul 2023

  A few weeks ago, the vast majority of our Y5 pupils successfully completed their L1 and L2 Bikeability courses, meaning they are now allowed to cycle on roads safely.  As a result, several of our Y5 pupils, along with Y6 pupils (some of whom have completed their L3 accreditation) are cycling to school more often which is wonderful and sustainable. 

   

  However, there is an increasing amount of vehicles who are dropping off pupils outside of school on the double yellow lines.  This endangers pedestrians and cyclists especially as they have to veer out of the way into the middle of the road.  

   

  Please refrain from dropping off on double yellow lines or zig zag lines directly outside the school on Buryfield Road please.  It would appear to be convenient however please show awareness of other vehicles who are parking in the correct places, cyclists and pedestrians. 

   

  The photographs were taken by a conscientious parent who raised these concerns. 

  

• Greswold welcomes our new Peace Pole...courtesy of our School Council and the Rotary Club

  Tue 04 Jul 2023

  This morning marked the planting of Greswold's new Peace Pole, a joint venture between school and the Solihull Rotary Club.  Greswold became the first school in Solihull to have received such a symbolic gesture, something which conveys the message of peace and good will.  Each message has been written in a different language, with the languages being selected by members of our School Council who nominated the 8 most spoken languages in school.   

   

  Mrs Scott officially unveiled the Peace Pole yesterday along with Phil Godfrey from the Solihull Rotary Club.  Thank you to everyone involved in this wonderful project.   

  

• Skills Builder Challenge Day 2023

  Sun 02 Jul 2023

  This year's Skills Builder Challenge Day was focused on future transport.  Thank you to members of our parent community who offered to come in and talk to various classes about transport in our everyday lives. 

   

  The children gained a great deal from their experiences of the day with the photograph below demonstrating how children from Y3 Sparrows used essential skills to design a future mode of transport.  They then practised their pitches in English the following day to try to persuade Mrs Groves to make an investment, Dragon's Den style! 

   

  Skills Builder is a strategy for schools, devised by a global group of businesses, education institutions and impact organisations, to help teach essential skills. Greswold adopted the strategy about five years ago and has expertly integrated it into our whole school curriculum offer.
